Format and Storage

  • Aliquots contain 0.4 grams of donor stool suspended in 1.5 milliliters of glycerol/saline buffer via the same process used to create OpenBiome FMT treatments for C. difficile.
  • Material will be delivered on dry ice via overnight courier with temperature verification. Upon receipt, Aliquots should be stored -20 °C or colder.

Handling Instructions

  • Aliquots may be used in in vitro assays and in vivo applications (i.e. humanization, colonization, and competition experiments) with pre-clinical animal models.
  • When handling SVS 0.4 packaging and the aliquots contained within, always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
    Researchers should work with SVS 0.4 materials only in a certified biosafety cabinet within a BSL-2 rated facility. Upon delivery, always examine packaging integrity and shipping temperature indicator.
  • Contact email: info@openbiome.org/phone: (617) 575-2201 immediately if package or product integrity has been compromised.

Safety Information

  • Aliquots are sourced from rigorously screened stool donors. Donors that pass the clinical assessment provide blood and stool samples that are evaluated for a broad range of over 30 viral, bacterial and parasitic infectious agents. All material collected from donors since December 1, 2019 has been qualified using a new direct test for the presence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Animal Use

All researchers who indicate that will be using SVS 0.4 materials in mouse models or other animal testing must provide OpenBiome with a current approval from their Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approval for the proposed research prior to shipment.

Important Notice

Investigators wishing to conduct research must complete a research agreement form.
